Opponent Breakdown: Houston Cougars

Tom Herman and his explosive offensive system come to Louisville hoping to keep their momentum going.

Tom Herman turned his national championship as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State into a head coaching job at Houston this past winter. With that head coaching job, Herman took over one of the most promising non-power five programs in the country. Houston has a new stadium and Herman has already landed a commitment from a five star prospect in his own backyard for next year. Unlike most schools with a new coach that is replacing a fired one, Herman was able to take over a team that only lost 5 games last year.
